At the top-right corner of every Google app on the web is your profile avatar to switch accounts and access settings, as well as an app launcher. The latter component is seeing a new design today that’s been refreshed with the Material Theme and is more compact.
To help users find and use some of its web applications, Google has a launcher placed on the top right corner of its websites. When clicked, the launcher expands to show some of Google’s most popular web services. It’s in the news again because starting on August 1st, Google will be reorganizing its application layout within the launcher.
